Olivia Wilde is speaking candidly about how she approaches work as an actress and director, admitting she'd prefer if her work was 'controversial' instead of 'boring.'
Seasoned actress and director Olivia Wilde said she is not seeking your approval when she picks a project to work on. Appearing at the Red Sea International Film Festival in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Wilde, who has been in the industry since she was 20, told the audience that while she wasn't seeking acceptance or love from the viewer, she was pursuing projects with an element of uncertainty.
'And I think part of that is being willing to not be accepted, being willing to not be celebrated by everyone, being willing to not be loved by everyone.' 'I think a huge problem with our business – around the world, I imagine it’s the same – when you conflate filmmaking or acting with fame or with large-scale acceptance, you immediately cut off every opportunity to do any risky work,' she continued.
